Game Killed on the Rail.


A veteran engineer of the Erie railroad
in speaking of his experiences, said:
''You would be surprised to see the
number of small animals and birds kill
ed on railroads 1t is surprising 20 see
game which hunters find most difficult to
catch meet death under the wheels of the
ofttimes slow going coal and freight
trains. Woodchucks, skunks. snakes,
nearly all kinds of squirrels, raccoons and
even the fleet footed rabbits and foxes
are frequently run over.
F., " Telegraph wires are also death traps
for winged game. Quail, partridges,
wood-cocks and smaller birds that are
not game are often killed when flying in
flocks by striking wires"

The Base Ball Curve.

Prof. Richard A. Proctor, in LoEgmai,'s
Magazine, thus explains the science of
curve pitching
When ball tor in fact any missile) is
advancing rapidly through the air, there
is formed in front of it small aggrega-
ton of compressed air. (ln passing we
may remark that the compressed air in
front of an advancing cannon ball has
been rendered discernible-we can hard
'ly say visible-by instantaneous photog-
raphy.) In shape the cushion of air is
conical-or rather conodial-if the ball is
advancing without spin and therefore 1T
resists the progress of the ball equally on
all sides, and only affects the balls veloc-
ity. The same is true if the ball is spin
ming on an axis lying along its course.
But in that case we have to consider,
where the ball is spinning on an axis
square TO its course, the cushion of COM
pressed air formed by the advancing ball
has no longer this symmetrical shape.
On the advancing side of the spinning
surface the air cannot escape so readily
as it would if there We're no spin; on the
other side it escapes more readily than II
would but for the spin. Hence the cush-
ion of air is thrown that side of the ball
where the spin is forward, and removed
from the other side The same thing
then must happen as where a ball en-
counters a cushion aslant. A ball driven
squarely against very soft cushion plum
ges straight into it, turning neither right
nor left, or if detected at all as against
Il billiard cushion comes straight back on
It's course but if driven aslant against
tue cushion, il is deiiecteG from the re
gions of resistance SO with the base
bali As the cushion Of all against which
it is advancing is not opposed squarely
10 it, but is stronger on one side than tht
other the bali is detected from the re
zion of greatest resistance.

The Spare Bed.


A Boston doctor asserts that '.the spare
bed in the farm house has been to blame
for two-thirds of the cases of rheumatism
and deaths by consumption. says the
Dakaa Bel. There isn't any use in deny
ing that the spare bed in the winter is
cool when you first get in. After you
have been in awhile and fallen into
kind of stupor YOU don't mind t so
much We have slept iii the spare bed
during the winter season--that Is we've
gone to bed in il and been rescued subse-
quently by relief party sent for the pur-
pose. You know how the spare bed IN
the old farm house looks, probably II
stands there in the corner, the bedsteid
with a high head board and square posts
with a ball on top of each, and the foot
board tops off with sort of roll with or
nament on each end that you can turn,
and they can hear il squeak in the front
ward. The bed has wide spread on 1t
that reaches to the floor, or perhaps
''log-cabin" quilt. Then there are cou-
pie of pillows that would make good an
wills if they were a little different, shape.
But when we get in and lie down on an
iee-fioe and pull the glacier over yon-
that's the time it is interesting. How
awfully cold spare bed can get After
you get in you turn over once or twice to
see ifit won't get to seem little warmer.
But you never take another turn. You
are frozen too stiff by that time. And
generally you fall into a kind of lethargy
and the next thing you know couple of
doctors are standing over you ,iting for
amputation to set on your right leg,
which lay against the under sheet on the
spare bed.

LET 1T BE FAIR.

Tn e trial OF Deputy Marshal Thomp-
son for the killing of Dalton begins in
Beaver to-day, and The H5RAID re-
peats its request that the accused be
given fair trial in every particular.
This is a case in which popular clamor
should be ignored by judge, prosecutor
and jury; the public convicted the
accused in its mind when it heard Of
the killing AID learned the particulars
of the bloody affair, but the public is
not the tribunal which must pronounce
judgment and execute the sentence.
The law must be interpreted snd applied
by the court and officers. and it is to be
hoped that these will be faithful to
the law and their osths; that
they will not be influenced by favor
itism nor swayed by prejudice. There
has been too much of popular
clamor IL our courts; prejudice In
Judge and officials has too often asserted
itself to the injury of defendants. In
this instance THE HERALD is sincere in
the wish that the law will be interpreted
and applied from the impaneling cf..the
Jury till the execution of the verdict in
such a manner as to give neither the
defendant nor the public the just right
to complain. So far as the alleged facts
of theA:iIling have been publisheds the
appearance is bad for the accused; but
the defendants showing must be made
in court, where all the opportunities and
privileges promised him by the law
ought to be given. If he can show
that the killing was iusti6able, that he
did not exceed his authority when he
shot. that he was sctuated only by q
desireto faithfully perform his duties
as an official, he should be
promptly acquitted. On the other
hand, if 1t shall be established that the
killing was wanton, or the result of an
unlawful exercise of authority, the
mans position ought not to shield him
from the penalty which the law pre-
scribes for his crime.
Ar CHE HERALD asks is that exact
Justice be melted out in this case; that
if guilty the deputy will be convicted
and punished. and if innocent he will
be acquitted; that the Court will lose
sight Of The fact that the dead man was a
Mormon and his slayer bitter hater
of Mormons; that the public prosecu-
tor will only know that he is prosecuting
a man for the alleged commission of a
crime, aud that the jurors will not take
into account anything else than the
facts as thew shall be laid before them =.

A GREEDY PAIR.

Edward AYeling and wife, the Eng
lish Socialists who were brought out to
this country last autumn for the pur-
pose of converting the American peo-
pie to the pernicious doctrines and
practices of their ilk, have returned,
much to the relief OF the committee
which paid them for coming. The
Avelings were brought out under
contract by the terms of which they
were to reneiye 800 per week. The
price seems rather high considering
that they we're to labor for suffering
humanity and their pay was to come
from the poor, the down-trodden and
oppressed; but after receiving 81, 500 for
thirteen weeks of very inefficient work,
the AYelings put in bill for $500 fer .ex-
penses. Among the items in this bill
were $50 for cigars and cigarettes, 500
for theatre tickets, $26 for postage
stamps, $25 for corsage bouquets for
the madame. The New York
papers print racy accounts of the meet
ing between the committee and the
AveliRgs when this expense bill was
presented. 1t was shown that the
precious pair dead-headed at the thea
tres on the score that they were dram
attic critics; that they beat hotels by
promising to recommend the houses to
strangers and that they were scrubs and
bilks generally; the committee did not
think that it was the proper thing fol
Socialist woman to array herself in
fnery and wear expensive corsage
bouquets, nor that it was exactly right
for an apostle of Socialism to smoke
costly cigars at the expense of poor
men who could earn scarcely enough tc
feed and clothe their families. The
outcome of the affair was that Ave.
ling was handed 500 and told to take
that or nothing; he took it, and left
protesting against the brutal manner
ia which he and his wife had been
treated by the committee.
If the Socialists had the sense that
they should have, they would know
that self-interest is the incentive NOV.
ing most men to champion the cause Of
Socialism, and that the more earnest 8
man is in the cause the more money be
wants. Your true Socialist is in favor
of everybody else sharing their posses.
aons equally with him. but he wants to
share his With nobody.

THEY LIFTED TIE MORTGAGE.
The Bargain Made by wittrock With
the Detective.

ST. LOUIS. No.. January 5.-The ex-
press robbers were not taken to the
penitentiary to-day, as it was expected
they would be, but they will be sent up
tomorrow. In brief interview with
Wittrock this morning, that worthy
gave q bit of information not before
made public. which was to the effect
that he had specially stipulated with
the detectives that they must lift the
mortgage on his mothers house, before
he would turn up any of the stolen
money. This, he said, they promised
to do. and added that it was done when
they went out to LeaYenworth, and
thus his chief object in robbing the ex-
press company was accomplished. The
mortgage was for $1,700. The grand
jury has found an Indictment against
Dan Moriarity, charging him with
being an accessory to the robbery both
before and after. He has not been ar
rested yet, and it is said that he will
not be prosecuted, as it was through
the information derived from him that
Wittrock and his pals we're arrested.
